The bodies you referred to are effectively finished anyway. I wonder what safeguards or accountability you refer to?There has NEVER been ANY at any time in history except to stock up on weaponry and have a well drilled Army. You're correct that Turkey is heading towards another Caliphate under Erdogan,who should be stopped by the sane world before people start to see him as anything but another would be Sultanate scumbag,which he is.I posted an article that had the wonderful idea that we should invade them again,not just on Anzac day. However the Domino theory you have of Europe is not something I can understand.Do you think Europe follows or cares what they do in Turkey?The only thing Europe has ever sought from Turkey is cigarettes and young boys who'll do anything for money. There is no Domino theory applicable to Europe.Your hypothesis is erroneous.Europe is and never has been held together by anything except a worthy and credible distrust of Islam.Currently Pegida and other movements like it are trying to remove the 5% of Muslims that populate their countries because they see the writing on the wall.The stupidly generous Angela Merkel threw open the doors to Syrians in an attempt to keep her huge posterior in the Head chair.She will be finished shortly after that grand idiotic betrayal of her country.She also ruined her EU mafia as the Syrians had to rock and stone and pollute their way through Hungary,Croatia,Greece and Austria to get there.None of them looked that bedraggled to me.(please don't mention the dead baby on the beach,I'll cry) On the French becoming a dictatorship I find that laughable.You must not have ever been there.They cannot agree on what to eat for lunch let alone follow a dictator.Was it De Gualle who said "It's impossible to govern a country that has 286 different types of cheese".Marie Le Pen will be great for them when she gets the reigns.Socialism has run it's race there if you have ever spoken to a Frenchman as simple things like posting a letter can become a bureaucratic nightmare.If she doesn't win that Macron guy with the mummy wife might. Oh ,and it IS The United States of Trump,with the exception of California,who are mooting the ridiculous notion of separation from the rest of the country,which with some luck,might occur with the help of the tectonic plates and The San Andreas Fault in the near future.Then Ben Affleck and co can speak their hare brained love theories to the fishes.i say that despite my sister and Nephew living in groovy LA.

I'm not about to defend Christianity. It's a very long bow you chose to draw.Almost nonsensical. I'd put the second war down to the gullible and obedient nature of the German people .Ditto the Japanese who thought themselves invincible. One thing Brits,Yanks and Australians are very good at is questioning authority. Wish I could say the same for Muslims but no,they believe something that cannot be questioned. The reason they wont question,reform or adapt to 2017 is because they live in fear of the consequences. It wont work in a largely atheist society,or one derived from Christianity.

Can you tell me where I've incited violence against your "poor bloody nephew"? Also,it's not my Holy Book.Yet it's reformed itself over the centuries Now you bring poor little innocent Iraq into it as more obfuscation. Because one thing is thus does not make another bunch of emotional ,heart-wrenching things true. Do you deny Islam is responsible for the thing I've listed above-that is the only question you need to find an answer to in reply.

A good water boarding never hurt anybody that didn't deserve it. Western civilisation doesn't live by the Old Testament and didn't exist when it was written. The Japenese were no saints back then either.

The Nuremberg trials were set up to prosecute only Germans I'va.Well done for squeezing a Nazi reference into the debate anyway. Great article titled "Here a Nazi,there a Nazi,every where a Nazi,Nazi"on the state of journalism and debate these days by Jim Goad. AF might be able to cut and paste it in for you-he's a film maker .

There are no protocols in Islam except those of slavery,dispossesion,theft,corpoaral punishment, capital punishment, honour killings, honour rapes,beatings,throwing people off buildings, destroying ancient architecture, killing jews,killing christians, killing westerners, outbreeding everyone, bombing ,running over or blowing up innocents ,beheading,stopping dissent, marrying off children to be raped,deception,keeping women in the house,not eating pigs and spreading the good word by force! It's a cracking read.

Hope the lads have had a chance to unwind at the Coconut Club in Noosa. Nothing like shooting a fish in a barrel after some exercise to loosen the limbs. Does it even still exist?

We are as happy or as unhappy as we decide to be Hem. Great to see you back on deck. Whilst none of us can ever agree on a definition of truth it seems,a few truths are hitting home to the Parliamentarians.Cory really timed his exit/re-entry beautifully but then he never stood for an election to get in. Cutting travel allowances for ex-ministers is probably the greatest thing the battler from Point Piper has done so far. My two least fave porky politicians are Kim Beazley and Alexander the Downer ,yet they know the system well enough to have gotten themselves diplomatic posts. Their daddies must have taught them that one. "Here's how you do it son,we will get you the seat,you appease everyone and don't make waves,just do your time,then when everyone knows you are only doing time you'll have plenty of mates to give you a soft landing in a nice house OS.Pass the gravy train/boat please and get me the dessert menu."

The UN ,the Eurozone, The Trans-Pacific alliance,NATO,ASEAN.,The Paris summit on Man Bear Pig..... Whatevs. They're nice things to sign for politicians and give them a trip OS occasionally to catch up with like-minded bullsh!tters.

Then it would be within the framework of a state sponsored military campaign with the support of American constituents so therefore not a terrorist attack. Cool man?

Indeed it is. The 27 year old lone shooter was one of at least 5 lone gunman to attack in the state of Quebec in the last 20 odd years. Some of the attacks have been against the French "Mafia" forcing cultural "difference" on ordinary citizens. Another was a loony who shot up women in a govt run women only school enraged as he was by Feminist dogma and policy. Yet another was an attempt to murder Parliamentarians but unfortunately for that fellow he arrived at parliament early and his gun jammed. Yet Trudeau, "The Hair Apparent" sees himself as a lone bastion of forgiveness and tolerance in a world gone mad and is about to outlaw ..........wait for it...... ISLAMAPHOBIA. No checks and balances on the wording or whether it may extend to Journalists discussing Islam. Quebec has been known as a place of discontent in Canada for it's residents for some time Hardtack. One wonders if the government will be able to ban its way through the current problems it faces. There was also a Muslim on Mounty attack but who cares, sweep it under the mat. great news emerged today that Canada is hiring 55 people to monitor the net for "hate speech"which i presume is speech the govt doesn't approve of. Oh Canada............ You dumbos.

It's not left or right AF. Iit's just a case of right or wrong. We will talk about it after the next terrorist attack that kills people in a secular state and see where you stand then. It seems you are way off growing into a man. Enjoy your yoof!!!

Run out of Havana Club I take it Hem. To what do we owe your belated greetings?

Player haters. Ive no objection to SNL or the ranting and raving about the Donald. It's only a show in the end. Unless you are in Iran where it looks like you may be next cab off the rank for a smashing.I don't entirely agree with it but there is only so much hijacking,death threats,hostage taking and "death to America" marching the Donald can take I suppose.

Lavatory.

See post 45. I misunderstood the question taking it to be that they had zero involvement in the wars.

Are you rehabilitated Picko?

An another note, I have a couple of snazzy bogan commodores for sale, recently re-sprayed. No paperwork, going cheap, cash only.

We've covered this Chris, I outlined the involvement of Muslim countries in the great wars. I've already stated that German militarisation was the largest reason they began. Re-WRITE .Right

Oh just read that. Are you on acid permanently? Her 15 minutes of political backslapping is already reaping negative dividends. Possibly the worst decision any political leader has made in the last decade and you think it's a good one. You'd be more productive knitting yourself a sweater than dabbling in ideas.

You clearly don't like the truth ,or understand Taqiya. You suffer from an outdated and trendy delusion that your University taught you the ONLY truth that exists. When you extend your imagination , or indeed read the Koran , you might see the reason for the rise of Neoconservative political theory. Ive read texts who's outcomes are horrible,such as Mein Kampf ,which wasn't even available in Australia when I read it.I was roughly 14 or 15 at the time. Do you think I swallowed it whole or dismissed it before page one?Before you go on a rant ,it was a terrible book full of holes in deduction. Like nearly every post you've written in here .I don't blame you for that because you lack a critical mind.You have what is known as a luvvy worldview. If you could take yourself out of the picture and seek a modern individual theory of geopolitical machinations ,before spouting from the ALP harmony theory of self destruction, you would see that all you are perpetuating is the repression of thought and human capability , not the growth of it. I've just spent the last three hours listening to a pro communist in southern Vietnam ranting and raving, offering me jobs with the prols,trying to espouse the virtue of Mao. The fact that this message may get to you in 2017 is proof that the misinformation may end soon.You lack any flexible intellect,no ability to concede that I and the majority of voters in Western democracy have decided that November 1917 is not suitable nearly a Century later. I've studied Das Kapital, An Enquiry into the wealth of Nations,Down and Out in Paris and London,Of Miice and Men ,On the Road , Anders Breiviks manifesto, Jung,Freud, Schopenhauer ,Dostoevsky, Lenin,Lennon,Ho Chi Minh,Voltaire,Rousseau,Napoleon,Stalin,Kennedy,Nixon,Clinton,Keatings'Paul and John. You have nothing to say that's original or enduring. You have a stagnant view of what Liberty might be.You put people In boxes,as religion does. I can safely debate a person of strict faith becuse I know their knowledge is backed by an imaginary friend, tied to an out dated dogma. The last book I read was "The Sympathizer", which won a small literary prize.It was complex and entertaining,fiction that could easily be factual. You I believe are a film maker,a cutter and paster. You make quick judgements about the power of images that you include or exclude based on a summary assessment of their power and ability to bring you recognition. You are a lightweight intellect withering on the vine of self congratulation and half- baked analysis without the skills of deduction to consider that your idea of yourself may be wrong .

Yes it was the Taliban sorry.The Buddhas. I don't advocate victimising Aussie Muslims either- its not our way but they operate in packs,outside the law,and there seems to be bugger all normative influence from elders in Melbourne and Sydney. Afghanistan is a hole - we should evacuate I agree. Then the Taliban will slime back in and rape 12 year old again but not our issue.

By the admission of the Islamic world that 1 per cent are radicalised, that's a conservative figure. I actually borrowed the figures from an Oxford debate There are ,more and worse but I don't want to shatter your happy kindergarten world view.

Lebanon is drowning in its own garbage as well.Perhaps when theyhave choked the whole country with rubbish they'll move on somewhere else,like here and ruin that. Oh yeah,Saturday night live- the last time it was funny was in about 1985. Steve Bannon knows his onions. Give them a few months and you might see a cleaner swamp.

An increase in labour cost and a workforce that spends its money in the same country,rather than sending it "home" helps enormously.The minimum wage is far too low in the states currently.Even the Donald dealt with unions in his building enterprises and paid the proper rates.Illegal immigrants with one foot in another country don't tend to spend much where they work. If you'd like more evidence I suggest you read up on Keynesian economic theory versus astringent Friedmanism which has the net effect of increasing the need for transfer payments. John Kenneth Galbraith , the premier economist of last century compared the two models and found that a lift in wage cost had the macro effect of increased spending by the workforce which created more jobs. Paying illegals does nothing for the government coffers or the broader economy.Sure,it helps the boss in the short term but any reduction in the black economy helps govt bottom line and overall business confidence. The "wall" will presumably have some effect on the massive cocaine industry and black market expenditure as well.
